Magic is superpowers, you silly goose.

by calling them magic

you just change the origin stories

instead of "from another planet" or "bitten by radioactive animal" you have "son of zeus" or "magic"

Yeah. Okay. Step 1: Make a spellcaster.

There are no more steps.

What level?

kills guys, draws cards, wins game when youre ahead as control. bad?

kills everything and is basically only countered by boros charm and manlands. I'm only sad to have this card if my opponent has no creatures. bad?

Nahiri's +2 is a neg 1, the -2 is good but Gideon Jura does the same thing plus much more, and the -8 is hard to pull off and not worth it. Verdict is too color intensive, Wrath of God is better in every way.

Wait a second. I recognize that art style.

They're are lots of options. Make a cliff appear slightly longer than it is so people fall/are pushed off easily
What about a fake entrance to a tunnel old cartoon style?
Turning yourself into something scary can work, maybe an orge to chase away goblins or turn the rogue into the evil wizard so you can sneak attack the wizard's second in command. It depends on the situation really.

I've had one of my pcs pull off the cliff thing against an invading army. The guys in the back just saw a field and kept pushing the guys at the front forward off the edge.

All the time. Got some good recurring NPC's out of it too.

I made one guy fight a fag.
Does that count?
The fag turned out to be a massive demon that wanted to feast upon his soul.

I think the most surprised I've ever been in an RPG was waking up to find that someone just set our god damned house on fire

The wizard

A chained up warrior to make fun of.

Hidden exit.

You're the boss, applesauce.

Nidhogg is great, though.

I need some advice for my Tau list. I'm trying to make a 1000pt take-all-comers list and I think I've got a pretty terrifying 850pts, but I don't know what to add for the last 150. Any tips?

This is a great idea for a General thread. I'd recommend including this link in the description every time to help with list posting: https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000/Tactics

A couple of recommendations:

1. You need Markerlights. Bring Pathfinders or Tetras instead of the Piranha and/or give your Strike Teams markerlights. They might seem like kind of a pain to bring at first, but seriously, markerlights win games for Tau.

2. I would recommend dropping the Sniper Drones and bringing a Hammerhead or Broadside Team instead. Your army seems a bit squishy and lacking in heavy firepower, as well as long-range support.

3. Overall, this seems like a very close-range army to me (by Tau standards anyway). As such you might also want to look at giving your Fire Warriors transports so they can keep up with the rest of your army, or upgrade them to be stationary fire support (give them things like the DS8 support turret), or some combination of the above (have one team be your transport team and the rest be fire support, for example).

4. If you need a few more points, feel free to drop the Cadre Fireblade. They're not bad or anything, but you already have an HQ, and you could get the same effect as the Fireblade's "Volley Fire" rule by just increasing the number of Fire Warriors in your Strike Teams instead. This method is cheaper and gives you more bodies so your squads won't die as easily.

Yes. No.

I try not to, since i'm awful at it
I'd like to know myself

>>47681234
Yes
Practice. Do funny voices in the shower and shit, try to be more expressive in your everyday speech.

You might want to have a look at the wood elves from warhammer fantasy. They reside in deep forests and steal human children. Some of them return as mages. Sometimes they attack humans, sometimes they suddenly appear to help them in battle. No one can really figure out why they are doing things.

I know there's a lot of backlash against the game since, but I felt the original editions of 7th Sea handed the Sidhe very well in their fluff.

I know where I am from, Elves typically are house spirits like Hobbs and shit. Guard your home and your family if you aren't a broken family.

I think it folly to try and equate the Legions with any particular sin or virtue.
But here we go.

Pride: Emperor's Children
Envy: Alpha Legion
Gluttony: Thousand Sons
Lust: Night Lords
Anger: World Eaters
Greed: Sons of Horus
Sloth: ?

Faith: Imperial Fists
Hope: Ultramarines
Charity: Salamanders
Fortitude: Iron Hands
Justice: ?
Prudence: ?
Temperance: ?

Sins are hard because they mostly all boil down to the same shit. Virtues I would really just give it all to the Ultramarines.

>>47680451
Justice: I feel like this would fit Ultramarines better, with Salamanders as Hope.

Temperance: Almost certainly Raven Guard.

>>47680451
Faith is obviously Word Bearers

It was retarded but fun, it could work in a more serious group

>>47680562
My concern is how open ended the rules seem, the rulebook kinda throws a lot of stuff at you and says "talk with your GM to make sense of this".

>>47680034
The game is good, even suffering by the same problem as BESM of "you can break this game easely if your GM don't put his finger."

Characters can be in a well rounded group, but maybe that's not the focus of 80% of the groups out there.

We quite rightly think whatever Friend Computer instructs us to think!

>>47680027
Whatever my nearest non-commiemutanttraitor superior instructs me to think, sah.

Paranoia is right fun. I completely and ultimately give my soul and body as an offering to the friend computerof my own free will and volition!
